Eelgance Class Discussed Long Distance Relationships

In preschool, we always go around the room and ask everyone, "How are you today?" I have a very hard time lying to them, even when I'm feeling terrible, so I usually stick to the truth. Today, I told them, "I am... okay today. I am happy for dance class tonight, but I am sad because I miss my boyfriend."

"Caleb?"

I've talked about him so much, they have his name, hair color, eye color, and general height and build memorized.

"Sigh. No, I can't go to America after school. It takes 20 hours to get to America on the airplane! (*gasps*) And it costs 1,700,000 ₩! (*more gasps*) And, I cannot talk with Caleb on the computer because I have dance class, he has school, and we are both very busy." I started to get gloomy just thinking about it, so I finished off with, "But! In May, Caleb will come to visit for 12 days!"

Next, I asked Ruby. "How are you today?"

She took a very long time saying "um... um..." but I could tell that she was thinking about how to properly communicate what she wanted to tell me. Finally, she said, "I am happy because... April finish and Caleb is coming."
